Fun and whimsical, warm and cuddly, or sweet as can be, there is a design in this book that will fit the personality of a special child. The 12 different designs—for both boys and girls—are featured in full color and are quick and easy to create. Modern, readily available, themed fabric makes these designs stand out against typical pastel-colored children’s quilts. Sized just right for children’s beds, cribs, or a favorite rocking chair, the patterns include Critters & Crawlers, Baby Blocks, Leapin’ 9-Patch, and Call of the Wild. Easy, step-by-step instructions lead both beginner and experienced sewers through the entire quilt-making process with tips and secrets to finishing each quilt like a pro.

Connie Ewbank teaches and designs patterns for both quilting and cross-stitch and is the author of String Quilting Today. She lives in Denham Springs, Louisiana.
